OM what we had at the dealer was a few adj. made up stands made from about 4" pipe & another piece just small enough to go inside it & it had holes drilled through the sides so you could adjust it & put a heavy pin through the holes. They had a rectangle shaped heavy reinforced base made up on them & were used mostly for the back & put under the flat of the trans. & steering clutch case. The big ones we had for the front they had an "I" beam top for the support & braces in a "V" shape down to the floor & they too were reinforced with iron.They were used mostly for big tractors & you had to use the fork lift to move them around.We also had big wood blocking to use when needed.Also around a shop a big chain hoist is a help & we had an electric heavy duty one in each bay so no problem but out in the field or small shop is a different story.I,m sure they still have all of them around the shop yet to use.The ones you showed that bolted to the sides of the roller frames were pretty neat & I,m sure worked well.

Hi SJ,
What I especially like about these is you can always have a pin in them rather than that scary period where your changing blocks and having nothing but the jack holding things up.

ttman4,
Now that your so good at it, you can do the other side too:D

I thought about it, just for the experience:D
Come in handy when I start that series of "How To" books I'm gonna write & sell on E-Bay....
I don't want to just write one big book.....not enough royalty $$$.
I think much more $$$ in a whole series of "Tips"
Big print, few pics, couple tips, lots of fluff & puff, hi frt. & postage.....just sit back & watch the $$$ roll in.....I can just see me now!!!

~and this too shall pass~
